Singer songwriter: Jan Dandridge from Hampton Park in Melbourne, otherwise known as Little Miss Country, was involved in the Home Grown Songwriter Concert on Sunday, January 8. There were almost a dozen performers who sang original songs during the two-hour concert.

Concert hall: Andrew Barcham from Upway performed two original songs during the songwriter concert, among those a song titled I Wish I Could Live Those Days Again.

Pull up a bale: Wagga Wagga’s Keith Lugton, who was responsible for operating Uncle Pickin Coop at the festival, sits with Melbourne's Stuart MacKinnon, attending his first moosic festival, after starting to learn the guitar midway through the year.
